Abita Brewing Co.

We're featured in Vogue ! Earlier this month, we partnered with KREWE to help them host their 2nd annual Krawfish Boil in New York City! The New Orleans based eyewear brand teamed up with Memorial Sloan Kettering and donated a portion of all ticket proceeds to cancer research. They served over 2,000 lbs of crawfish while guests enjoyed live music and Louisiana refreshments of course! "The sun always brings New Yorkers out on a Saturday, but not to this extent. Over the weekend, luxury eyewear brand Krewe put the fun in fundraiser and turned Gansevoort Street into the scene of a day party that would make The Big Easy proud."

We've got some pretty damn good beer! The Beer Connoisseur recently reviewed our Limited Brew, Vanilla Triple Dog and it scored a sweet 88/100 by the esteemed judges. Reviewer Dan Preston said: "Truly an imperial version of a brown with all the typical flavors but amped up a notch and further enhanced by the addition of the vanilla. Tasty and rich with lots of caramel and vanilla, without being too sweet or overly vanilla-y. A great beer with dessert or as a night cap, but not so sweet that it can’t be enjoyed anytime." We always strive to produce quality products and love to have them recognized by the incredible judges at Beer Connoisseur. Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/e5Ua2At9 Vanilla Triple Dog by Abita Brewing Co. is an Imperial Triple Brown Ale with Vanilla, which best fits in the BJCP 2021 category 30D, Specialty Spice Beer, as it not only has the addition of vanilla (typically an ingredient featured in Style 30A, Spice, Herb or Vegetable beer), but is also an imperial version of a brown ale (Style 19C, American Brown Ale). This style is home to any SHV beers that don’t quite fit a classic style. This beer pours a dark brown color with a big foamy tan head that lasts for days. Despite the dark color, there is good clarity around the edges where I can see light. The aroma is sweet and complex with strong notes of milk chocolate, vanilla, caramel, burnt sugar, rich bread crusts, raisin and black cherry. Behind all the malt, there is very little hops and a touch of alcohol. The flavor is similar, but with stronger notes. The rich melanoidins really come through in the flavor and linger in the back of the mouth. Deep brown bread crusts, chocolate, strong caramel are all present, and it is reminiscent of a glass of chocolate bread pudding with a dollop of French vanilla ice cream and caramel drizzle on top. The vanilla also comes through as toasted marshmallows. There are low, pleasant warming notes of alcohol, but the ABV is well hidden otherwise. It has a velvety smooth mouthfeel with a medium-full body and medium carbonation. Truly an imperial version of a brown with all the typical flavors but amped up a notch and further enhanced by the addition of the vanilla. Tasty and rich with lots of caramel and vanilla, without being too sweet or overly vanilla-y. A great beer with dessert or as a night cap, but not so sweet that it can’t be enjoyed anytime.
